digital Waldorf - cooperative, creative, collegial | Online courses for Waldorf- and language teachers

Teacher

Ulrike Sievers

Overview

Unusual times demand flexible thinking and courageous actions!

This course would like to invite you an exchange of ideas. It has to do with identifying how we can organize and shape meaningful, age-sensitive, healthy and manageable ‘distance-schooling’ in the spirit of Waldorf education. We want to encourage you through examples and suggestions and above all to provide a platform for cooperative and collegial exchange. We want to use the possibilities that digital media offer to be in contact with colleagues and to support and inspire each other in these difficult times.

The course hope to sow some visionary seeds that can grow and be nourished through your good ideas. In this sense we look forward to a lively exchange and creative cooperation. Stay healthy!

She has also contributed nationally and internationally to teacher education and offers courses for students at the Waldorf seminar in Hamburg and Stuttgart.
